MozRank and mozTrust computations
-
Are there any details on the computations involved with mR and mT?
I am specifically wondering about Google.com. The DA and PA is 100. If that page does not max out on the other factors it seems that no internet page or site would.
The page has the following stats:
mR 8.68
mT 7.95
DmR 9.29
DmT 9.36
Until now I have only focused on DA & PA. I would like to better understand the mechanics of these other measurements.

Hi Ryan,
You can learn more about MozRank and MozTrust at the following pages:
http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/mozrank
http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/moztrust
The most basic reason why google.com doesn't have a perfect 10 for MR and MT is because no site does. Mozrank is the global link authority and importance of a site independent of a specific query. Those sites with a higher MozRank are likely to rank higher than their lesser ranking counterparts and not even google.com ranks #1 for every keyword possible in a search engine. PA/DA are directly related to how well a site will rank in Google.com using a variety of different metrics.
Read about Page Authority and Domain Authority here:

Definitely, check out those links though to learn all about these different metrics.

I'm flagging this one for the help team to come in and take a look at when they get a chance (though they're a bit busy right now with some other issues so it might be a bit). I don't have an answer for this one myself.

Ryan - Thanks for asking this question. Now I don't feel stupid for wondering how MR and MR (or even the Google equivalents) work.
As another comparator, the Library of Congress's MR & MT :
Page MR 7.27
MT 8.39
Domain MR 7.61
MT 8.92
Perhaps Rand could address this in a White Board ?

Why has my MozTrust & DA dropped
Hi The company i work for are in the middle of relaunching our product, so during this time we have not been generating much traffic to the site. We are still getting about 800 SEO visits a month, however, as we aren't doing email marketing our site traffic overall has dropped. I have noticed that since October or MozTrust and Domain Authority seems to be dropping. Our DA was at 18 then in the space of a few weeks has dropped to 10. Our Moztrust was at about 3 and now is at 0. Our links to the site seems to be disappearing to according to Moz, however other back linking website are saying they are still there. Could someone maybe shed some light on what i may have done wrong to lose these two things and so quickly. This all happened mid to late October. During the Hummingbird release we were fine! We have also just updated out website with lots of new content. In fact increased it 4x. There are great internal links throughout the site. Thank you

Does linking to relevant high authority websites effect your MozTrust or Rank?
Basically what the title says. I am having a hard time understanding why a compeitor with less linking domains and none of any real quality, they're all membership sites or partnerships, nothing to relevant to the industry. While we have links and articles on us from multiple magazines in our industry. As well as to relevant directories with high domain ranks. The only thing I noticed is they're linking to their clients website, which are all high authority websites. So do external links count towards your MozTrust or Rank?

MozRank: Still valid after Panda?
So I'm trying to quantify some of our drops and I suspect that we've taken some hits on lower quality links (some reciprocals, etc). The problem is most of the metrics I've relied on to help weed out the bad ones seem irrelevant after Panda. So I'm curious, has anyone taken mozRank to task after Panda? Is it still a good metric on valuable links?
